I like Condit there. I can't wrap my head around Mousasi-Gustamante. I was all Gus, and then my friend kind of talked me out of it. I think Mousasi is training with the Gokor crew for this fight. Like, he has a real camp for once.

How u think condit will win? Weather the early storm and outstrike him?

I USED TO POST ODDS HERE IN THE LATE 90'S BEFORE ANYONE ELSE HAD THEM. THE FIRST UFC ODDS I MADE WAS THE FIRST SHAMROCK VS SEVERN FIGHT (SHAMROCK -200/SEVERN +170. I HAD A LOT OF GUYS FROM HERE PLAYING WITH ME INCLUDING BIG NAME PROMOTERS (CAN'T SAY THEIR NAMES THOUGH). ONLY ONE D-BAG DIDNOT PAY ME..I THINK IT WAS 800 BUCKS AND I FORGOT HIS NAME BUT BELIEVE IT OR NOT A LOT OF GUYS HERE WERE HONORABLE. I REMEMBER GETTING MY ASS KICKED WHEN RICO RODRIGUEZ LOST TO TIM SYLVIA IN 2003.

Exactly. I think Hendricks will come out looking for the kill by throwing bombs, he'll tire a bit and go for takedowns, then his load will be shot. Condit will be on the run/in defense mode for the first round, then when Hendricks slows down (which he always does when he doesn't flatline the other guy in the first minute) Condit is just going to pick him apart.

Marquardt looked beast against Woodley, I think he's very solid all around at 170. I think him vs. Ellenberger is a pick-em fight, they both have a very real shot at winning, and I think the lines reflect that.

Mousasi could potentially pull a Bigfoot Silva and muck up the LHW title picture. He's being brought in to lose to Gustamante in front of his home fans. He's only there because he's a name that Zuffa thinks Gus can beat (because he can't wrestle, Gus don't get a whiff of a wrestler until it's big money), setting up Gus-Bones, and trying to sell that to us as a competetive fight.

I don't think that Mousassi is less than half the kickboxer Gustafsson is

Even if Hendricks goes this route he may not tire as quickly as you hope. He may go for TD's earlier then you expect as well. At the end of the day Condit is not wise to hang in the pocket with the slugger and will not win off his back IMO.

As this is a three RD. fight Hendricks can win a close UD too!

I bet a lot in MMA but I don't 'gamble' much (! - meaning I have a very high win percentage and I don't consider a lot of plays gambling because they are such high percentage bets), this one is tough IMO. I think your friend should have talked you out of both.

EH Paisan,

Where do you bet? Do you have a local NYC booky?

Yeah. But, I'll hitup some of the online sites if the odds are wacky. It's worth it to wait for the payout if the odds are really off. The advantage to having a guy over the online sites is when it comes to bet max. The online books cut you off at 500 or whatever, you can't reason with them, they don't know you.

The advantage to the online sites is that you can only bet what's in your account and you can't overextend yourself with someone who might send someone to pay you a visit if you can't pay.

If dealing with a bookie, always have the cash to back your play, pay your losses right away, and ask for immediate payouts as a gentleman's agreement. I know plenty of guys who got involved in stupid situations where their bookie couldn't/wouldn't pay them large amounts owed to them. My boy had a 30k weekend betting soccer, bookie paid him half, and said that he was beat on the other 15. What can he do? Is it worth 15k to walk away? I think so.

Then again online sites can be shut down at any time and fly by night.
